As a 20-year resident of South Portland, I am proud to support Steve Silver for City Council.

Steve has outstanding analytical and communication skills, which he will apply to the many challenges that face our city. As an attorney working on behalf of employers, Steve has unique insight into the challenges of our business community and is determined to clear the path of undue regulation that inhibits their success. Steve previously served on Maine’s State Board of Property Tax Review and is currently chair of the Maine Gambling Control Board.

As a father of twins, Steve is aware of the effects of inflation on families and is determined to exercise extreme discipline when reviewing budgets, especially pertaining to increased property taxes. With his legal experience and balanced views, Steve will be a much-needed moderating factor on our current City Council. Please join me in voting for him.
